Reid Duke and Ken Takahama playing Round 8 Game 2 is a really great game to watch. It starts at around 1:24 of the Day 2 stream, with Ken up 1-0. Ken is playing a crazy strong BR rats deck with a lot of good removal and Reid is playing a UG splash B ramp deck with a lot of [[Hamlet Glutton]] and [[Up the Beanstalk]] spells.
Match 6 coverage of Gab Nassif vs. Anthony Lee is awesome! Starts at around 6:30 in the stream I think.
A disappointing end to the Edel/Takahashi match, good show though.
Ken Takahama’s Day 2 draft deck is just insane. This is what I aspire to play and never come close:
